[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After all the hype I was really disappointed with The Lane. $20 per kid for 2 hours is ridiculous because there isn't much for them to do. Its like a trendy bar/coffee shop with a slide and ballpit and should not charge a cover. I won't be going back unless they make it more of a play space. I think they could make enough money on alcohol sales if they didnt charge a cover. There was no relaxation just constantly watching the kids and trying not to get trampled. I had high hopes, sigh. Ill be going to badlands, its cheaper anyway.[/quote]

I don't think some cover charge is unreasonable... but $20 for 2 hours is ridiculous. I also think the time limit is bad marketing, since most people will leave after 2 hours but the firm cap makes it seem less worth it. What they could do is charge $20 per kid, but give you say $10 of it in credit to the coffee shop/bar. [/quote]

Agreed. Magic Ground is $10 for the first hour or $15 for unlimited. Even my high energy 4 year old gets tired after 1.5 hours, so we pay for unlimited and stay barely more than the one hour. They seem like they're marketing more toward maternity leave moms and SAHMs, so maybe they're worried about moms camping out at the tables all day with small babies?

This seems similar to Nook in Ballston, but with even less for the kids to do. I'm interested in checking it out, but hesitant that it will be a waste of money.[/quote]
